I don't get this.
I wrote a script that reads data from a .csv file and puts them into a
MySQL database. It works fine on my machine.
Here's the relevant part:
<snip>
import csv
import MySQLdb
import sys
try:
datei = sys.argv[1]
except:
print("Usage: insert_into_db <.csv-file>")
# convert csv to list
reader = csv.reader(open(datei, "rb"), delimiter = ";", quotechar = "",
quoting = csv.QUOTE_NONE)
</snip>
After copying it to the server, it says:
server1:/usr/local/sbin# ./insert_dgf_customers.py /usr/local/sbin/my.csv
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./insert_dgf_customers.py", line 27, in ?
reader = csv.reader(open(datei, "rb"), delimiter = ";", quotechar =
"", quoting = csv.QUOTE_NONE)
TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operation
The file my.csv is a test file and correctly formatted (it's the same
file that worked on the other machine).
I thought the built-in operation meant here is open(), but without
putting csv.reader() around it everything works fine... And I guess
csv.reader is _not_ built-in, for it from the module - is that correct?
Any hints?
